No. Right now it is running slow and rubbish and all the posts I made earlier in the evening have vanished! And half the time I click on lniks I just get an immediate 'This page cannot be displayed' message.

Earlier today all recent changes to the forums vanished. For example, Dim moved a thread from Movie Discussion to AOTC. By the time I got here around six, all this had been un-done and the thread was back in Movies (I was unaware it had even been moved)
I then posted a load, and I closed that thread in movies.
Now I have come back, all the posts I made have gone; the thread was never closed and Dim's original move has been restored. So the original un-done things have come back; all the changes made while they were missing have been, in turn, un done.
And it;s still running very slow for me.

Right, about the speed - I can't explain it. I'm using BTopenworld as you are, and the forum has never been so fast for me in ages. Try emptying out your Temp Internet Files....if that doesn't help, try using a different browser such as Netscape and let me know if that gives similar problems.
Do you have an approixmate on how many posts we lost?
I think the problem was down to me and the cowboyish move that I made.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but we've transparently switched servers, as we outgrew the old one. What happened was that I ran the forum software on the new server AND the old server. I should have disabled it on the new one until the transfer was complete (sorry). When I came back to finish the transfer I didn't think there would have been any new posts on the new one as the DNS couldn't have updated that quickly - but apparently it did for you and a numerous others. When I did the transfer, I shutdown the old forum, deleted the new database and replaced it with the old one. That is why the posts seem to have been restored.
All I can say is I'm sorry and this will NOT happen again!
Okay, get him out of the pot of boiling water. Put the spears and torches away folks, nothing to see here. Back to your huts people, lets go, lets go. You'll just have to find something else to eat tonight.
